[Bug 1809021] Re: Add HWE variants to debian-installer for all arches

[Brian Murray]

Hello Adam, or anyone else affected,

Accepted debian-installer into bionic-proposed. The package will build
now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-
installer/20101020ubuntu543.5 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of
your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Add HWE variants to debian-installer for all arches

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in debian-installer source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ SRU Justification ]
  As in previous LTSes, bionic needs HWE d-i variants, both for netboot and for alternate d-i server ISOs.  All architectures should be supported this time.

  [ Test Case ]
  Boot HWE variants and make sure they both boot with the HWE kernel and later install it.  The installation should be otherwise unchanged from a non-HWE variant.

  [ Regression Potential ]
  This is (mostly) copy and paste from xenial, and should Just Work.  No changes are made to non-HWE variants (except an unrelated kernel ABI bump), so nothing should regress in the current d-i, the worst case scenario is that the new variants don't work.;
